Love your view while sewing. It’s almost as good as sewing outside on the porch

Hi from Kentucky !! Just found you. Thank you. Liked the video. Can't wait to see more. I tried your blog but it won't load. Was hoping your son fixed it. Bummer. Looking forward to more.

Hi just found you tonight, subscribed. You are so easy to listen to. Like all your helpful hints. Thank you

I found that rubbing a dry erase marker (any color) on top of a sharpie marker and wiping with a paper towel or Kleenex will remove the sharpie marker.

Great video I liked your quilt tips and shares great advice adorable family I subscribed

HELLO from Squaw Lake in Northern Mn. First time to your channel!! Really enjoyed it. 🎉 Have a safe "Migration ".

Just found you and ive found a new friend. You are so down to earth and pleasant. Thank you.

I am here trying to learn all I can about my White treadle. It is the same as yours, the plate has the very same patent dating on it. The difference is the cabinet. Your cabinet is SO beautiful! My iron lady came in the craftsmen case and I love it! These old gals are so amazing and I'm thrilled that I found one. Do you have an update video on this machine?

Too cute! 🤣👍🏻

I understand that hand sanitizer makes a good windshield/windscreen cleaner when you have difficult things to remove like tree sap. I haven't tried that yet, but it does make sense. I am impressed that the nail polish remover does not harm the markings that are built into the ruler, or make the surface of the ruler "cloudy." Thanks for the tip!

Ok I'm chuckling at how opportunity is spelled on the Pinterest sign....funny how our brains allow us to see past some mistakes...or was it intentional to solidify their point? 👏 I'm going to take it that's why when I gift a quilt the recipient sees past my imperfections 🤓 thanks for another great video!

I bought the large drunkard's path templates and am going to make a Christmas quilt soon with it. I keep wishing that I had the smaller one because I seem to find more patterns for the smaller size. But with just find contentment with the larger size and figure out my own things to do with it. What a great present all those parts where, and your thrift store finds were great. Love those blocks you got. I want to thank you for all your hard work learning how to put the links into the notes. I am not the best with computers so do appreciate having them. Have a wonderful weekend! See you on Monday!

Hi Lorrie! Is that the back of my RV I see thru the window? I'm kidding of course. Home now from the Oregon coast. Always fun to buy used quilting books. What a treasure from your friend! All sorts of nifty sewing machine parts! You are quite gifted to be mechanically inclined with sewing machine repair. I thought about it with my Singer Futura, but decided to just give it away for parts to the sewing machine repair guy. Along with a dozen or so of those plastic bobbins you showed us. Dan's project looks fabulous! How does he stretch it and frame it? I've wrapped mine around cardboard, use tape, and frame it. Not the best way, I'm sure. There's a country cooking restaurant I wanted to stop at for breakfast on the way home just east of Tillamook. Never been. Sign on the door said they were closed today due to equipment malfunction. I had a hankering for eggs, bacon and pancakes. Stopped an hour later at a service station for coffee and danish. I need to set up my sewing machine again now. Thank you for working on the problem with the PDF. The campground was nice. Could hear, see and smell the ocean. Please take care. Here's my blabfest! Marion

About the Drunkard's Path quilt block. There was an episode of Sewing with Nancy several years ago where the guest, Elaine Waldschmidt, made the blocks by appliqueing a circle on a square and then cutting the square into 4 equal parts. I believe she used a dinner plate to trace the circle, and the differential between the square size and the plate size was 2 inches. I like this better and it does work than sewing the block the traditional way.

What a fantastic block. If I may give you a trick to cutting those easy eight HST, make the cuts where there are no lines first, that way if the block slips you still have the lines to make it easier. (hopefully that made sense) Again fantastic block Lorrie! See you on Friday!!!

❤❤❤

Nifty neato! More delicate half square triangles! I always feel so dainty when making them. Thank you, Lorrie for another outstanding block for the Patriotic quilt! Take care. I have WiFi after all here at the campground. Home Friday.Marion

What a great way to do the HST! Thanks. I like this block a lot. It could be a great stash buster.

Thank you very much for sharing.

Can't get the pattern it is protected.

I use that crochet thread to tie my quilts. I also like the looks of the perl cotton for the feather stich. Thanks for another great informational video. See you on Wednesday, have a wonderful week Lorrie!

Cross stitch. Needlepoint. Plus snacks. All in RV.

I love the feel of embroidery floss. Soft, silky. When using it, I feel calmer, I think because it is a slower process. Lovely stitches, Lorrie. Thank you for this lesson. My sewing machine is packed in the RV. The quilt blocks are ready to be sewn together. I had to square them up yesterday. Unfortunately, I accidentally sat on my 12.5 inch square ruler. Snap! 🙀. Blue painter's tape fixed it for now. I also have a cross which packed to go to. A trio of jazz cats. Take care, Marion

Thank you very much for sharing.

I am very grateful for the informative tutorials you provide. Have you ever quilted a 'summer' quilt on your longarm? That is a quilt with only (say) a sheet or lightweight fabric as a batting? What issues would one expect to have if attempting to longarm quilt it themselves? Thank you very much for sharing.

Great job on a very productive week. The car quilt turned out beautifully. Marylou's quilt is so pretty, such soft colors and your neighbor's quilt is wonderful. See you on Monday, looking forward to learning more about floss and pearl cotton. Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh my word! My mother used to say that. Or was it grandma? The jewel box car quilt is so, so pretty! I love doing swirlies. I call them squirrely swirlies! Such wonderful colors! And all the other quilts are outstanding, too! Quilt guild meeting last night. 130 people. For those of us who have October birthdays, there were a selection of fat quarters. One only, please! I picked out one to use for the patriotic quilt. It looked like one you showed us the other day with hearts on it. I'm having difficult locating the patterns for these blocks on your blog site, Lorrie. Any advice? Nugget, Nugget, Nugget! Pat on the head to you! And you too, Lorrie! Marion

Very nice quilts ❤👍 Beautiful Catdinal in the background too

❤good morning Lori! Love your creativity! Have a blessed day!

Second try to watch it was cut short, because tire rotation finished quicker. Third try, Tiger wanted outside, so he kept me company while I pruned a bush. Before fourth try, I went out to lunch. Now I finished watching it while pressing blocks. I liked how to marked on the square ruler where to line up for fussy cutting. At first I thought you were going to outline the square on the fabric with the sharpie! 😮😯🤐😵. Marion

I love Americana quilts!! I made one for my friend from Mexico right before her back surgery. She thought she was going to die because the surgery was to fix the botched previous surgery where she did almost die. So I used a muted Americana color theme and then I sent for a comforter with the Mexican flag and cut it up, sewed on borders and used it for the back. That way she could have her country in which she is a citizen visible on the front, but Mexico close to her heart on the back!! She loved it!! And....she did not die.

I love Jacob Ladder blocks and making it with red/white/blue it turned out really pretty. Really enjoying these blocks. Thank you and I'll see you on Friday!

Hello Lorrie! I must watch this again. I was cutting out fabric for a Halloween block for the quilt guild. My craft table is loaded with fabrics and scraps again. I've been pulling blue and red and Halloween fabric from my stash! Blue and red for your project. I'm going camping, finally, next week for a few days along the Oregon Coast. Sewing machine will be coming along. I bought a adjustable seam guide yesterday. The screw was too short, but I had another one that would fit. Looking forward to see what your husband is working on. Soon back to West Virginia? Take care. Marion

I too am in love with the feather stitch, so thank you for showing us how to do another one. Yes, that book is amazing, I love mine, not sure how many times I have looked at it. Have a wonderful week Lorrie and I'll see you on Wednesday (tomorrow lol).

Hi Lorrie! Oh that book! My eyes popped out and I just want to curl up and look at all those photos! So many to try. Did you loop the thread over the needle only one direction or alternate? It looked like you went over from the right and another stitch from the left when stitching the leaves. Today was bind a quilt day. Back to front yesterday. I'm getting better, go real slow and use walking foot. Have you ever used a screw in, adjustable seam guide? I might buy one for more accuracy. The binding I put on was from the quilt guild. Black and white swirlies. My eyes were having issues with it. Thank you for the embroidery lesson. What is your husband stitching lately? Take it easy. Marion

I’m cutting my scraps into 10” squares, 5” strips, 5” squares, and 2&1/2” strips 😊

❤❤

Yes, I do mark up my rulers with painter tape, especially when patterns call for weird sizes like 7/8 etc. I was gifted about 5 yards of Christmas design (snowman/Santa pillows), I knew I would never make/use them, so I cut every bit I could into usable sizes. Amazing how much usable material I ended up with. But I never thought about the words, I won't the next time...lol So proud of you Lorrie for finishing that last block and now being ready to sew your quilt together. So, looking forward to the book sew along. Haven't had a chance to start on the Patriotic blocks, was asked to make an easy shawl for my aunt who is going to be 99 next month to put around her shoulders, so of course that came first. Then my mother-in-law informed us that they will be her this Saturday instead of the 7th, which is okay, but wasn't ready for company, so been busy doing some housework. Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you on Monday!

After being glued to the weather channel for the past few days, it is so lovely to watch you talk about every day projects. My daughter and her husband were in Florida and I have been watching her kids for five days. Today I am sick!!! Thanks for the video and the shorts...very soothing for my rattled mind!!

There's no place like Gnome! Very fun! I like gnomes. Don't worry, I don't have a garden full of them. Just one. The vest patterns are nifty. I made two from those panels for my mother back in the 90's. Halloween and a winter theme. The winter theme came with a doll size one also, which I made for one of my dolls. I always enjoy seeing what Diana and other quilters have made. I cleaned up (sort of) my cutting table of scraps. Then worked on a round robin block. I'll send a photo this week. I use blue painter's tape to mark areas on one ruler. Stay away from the hurricane! Take care Lorrie. Blabfest Friday! Yay, Blabfest Friday! Marion

Did you say Sewblock Holmes? Very clever.

Beautiful work Diana. I love how neatly you did all that handwork. I have a quilt that is close to having it's topper finished. I bought two vest patterns at the thrift store to put with stash fabric to make up the back for it. I love the flowers and design in the vest shown. I have the words from other such fabric to be used in string blocks. =] Looking forward to the Sherlock Holmes project. Mr. and me love to watch the Jeremy Bret series on DVD.

I HAD A VEST LIKE THAT ONE

This is a beautiful block. Thank you very much for sharing.

What a cool 9 patch. Thanks for giving such detailed instructions and encouragement on making these blocks. Once a person learns to make those fancy blocks as I am colling them the possibilities in other quilts will be endless. See you on Friday!

Thank you, Lorrie! I love the encouragement! I've been making intricate blocks this summer, as a challenge. I think this block is great, and I appreciate all the steps in making it! Take care. Marion

The one blue pattern looks so familiar 💜

P.P.S. About 30 plus years ago, I crocheted about 4 yards of ivory lace to sew onto the hem around my wedding dress. The wedding and the dress never happened, but I still have the lace. Know where it could go to a good home? It lays wrapped up in a drawer to be protected from dust. Marion😏

P.S. the little red doilie would be great as a Christmas tree ornament!

Oh, I've got a great idea for doilies I said to myself a few years ago. I still have the book with pattern in it for sewing doilies to a quilt block. Thank goodness I keep the doilies in a drawer. Otherwise they'd get too dusty waiting for me to use. I also have pretty doilies with designs of roses attached. Oh my! I can use those for my senorita pattern for her dress, along with the pretty handkerchiefs I've bought to use as a dress. Embroidery is also involved. Antique stores have lots of these fancies! Did you know, that the more embellishments you have saved over the years, the less chance they have of being used? With this tutorial Lorrie, I may bring them out of the drawer again! By the way, when I type in doilies, the autocorrect changes the word to "cookies". No problem with making those disappear! Marion
